Title: Improvements in hollow walls and in plates for their construction
IPC: E04B2/28
Filed: 1936-04-08
Abstract: 464,719. Walls; slabs. LEEMHUIS, J. C. P., and DONALDSON, E. J. April 8, 1936, No. 10377. [Classes 20 (iii); 20 (iv), and 87 (i)] A hollow wall is composed of two spaced skins constructed of several courses of thin slabs 2 which are each provided on the inner face with an integral vertical pillar section 3 adjacent each vertical edge and an intermediate pair of integral vertical pillar sections 4, the arrangement being that the intermediate sections 4 laterally overlap and embrace the adjacent end sections 3 of a pair of horizontallycontiguous slabs of the opposite skin, thereby to form within the wall a series of verticallycontinuous pillars, and bonding pins 17 are passed through aligned holes 16 provided horizontally in the assembled pillar sections. The pins fit somewhat closely in the holes in the sections and may be in the form of bolts or screws. Stiffening ribs 10, 11 are provided longitudinally of the slabs, but these do not extend to the end sections 3. The horizontal edges of the slabs are provided with tongues 13 and grooves 12, and grooves are provided along the horizontal and vertical joints on the outer face of the wall for the reception of pointing material. The slabs are arranged with the horizontal and vertical joints of the two skins relatively staggered, the staggering of the horizontal joints being obtained by forming the slabs in the lowest course of one skin of half the normal height. At corners, a special block 18, Fig. 3, may be employed having grooves 21 to receive additional pillar sections 3<a> on the ends of the outside slabs, and pins 17 key the slabs to the block 18. A modified form of corner is provided by forming an extension 2<a> on the outside slabs of one wall as shown in Fig. 4 and passing bolts 19 through such extensions and the adjacent pillar sections of the slabs in the other wall. An internal and external wall, which are built up of slabs 2, may be connected together by bolts 22, Fig. 5, passing through the inner slabs of the outer wall and the adjacent interengaging pillar sections of the internal wall. The ends 23 of the slabs in an external wall may be preformed to receive a window frame 24 as shown in Fig. 5, and a door frame 25 may be fixed in position by screws 27 entering plugs 28 which fit the holes 16 in the pillar sections 3 of the slabs.

Abstract: 1,139,011. Tunnel kilns. SOC. GENERALE DE FONDERIE. 9 March, 1966 [10 March, 1965], No. 10422/66. Heading F4B. [Also in Division B3] Sand and resin are blown into a core-box in a machine 1 to form a core or core part for casting iron radiators and, to improve cohesion, the core, e.g. of assembled parts, is sprayed with water from sprayers (1a, 1b) before being placed on a core box 2, on rails (3, 4) and pushed into a sectioned and adjustable tunnel kiln 5 by a jack 12, and through the kiln on further, offset, rails by following core-boxes. In the first section 6a, the boxes 2 are heated from below by radiation from propane burners 11 and in subsequent sections 6b-6d the cores are cured by heat transferred from the boxes to the cores they contain, assembled parts being bonded together in the process. The draught created by a chimney 14 removes vapours and assists cooling in a last kiln section 6e. The core-boxes 2 are returned to the core-blowing machine 1 by a roller conveyer (15).

Title: Improvements in or relating to multiplex telegraphy
IPC: H04L5/04
Filed: 1925-04-25
Abstract: 244,635. Western Electric Co., Ltd., (Western Electric Co., Inc.). April 25, 1925. Wired wireless systems; multiplex signalling. - In a system of multiplex telegraphy in which different messages are distinguished by currents of different strength, thermionic valves having similar charcteristics are employed ant the receiving end, and these characteristics are relatively displaced to distinguish the messages in the output circuits. The grids and filaments of thermionic valves 31, 32, 33 are connected in parallel across the line 29. The respective characteristics of these valves are shown in Fig. 3, adjustment being made by adjusting the grid batteries. Input voltage OA corresponding to one message causes current in the output circuit of valve 31 only, which includes winding 37 which closes the circuit of line 39. Input voltage OB corresponding to a second message causes current 41 in winding 37, and current 42 in windings 34, 35. Winding 34 closes circuit of line 40, but windings 35, 37 are opposite in direction, and the difference of currents 4<f1> and 42 is insufficient to close line circuit 39. Voltage OC corresponding to the two messages superposed closes line circuit 40 through winding 34, and a current 43 in winding 36 causes closure of line circuit 39. In a modification there are separate relays in each output circuit and the line circuit for the first message is led through the back contact of the relay for the second line circuit, so that when both relays are actuated the first line circuit is not closed. The third relay, however, actuated by a current resulting from two messages superposed closes the first line circuit. At the transmitting end, Fig. 1, a carrier current generator 26 puts a voltage on the grid of valve 27, but the grid is shunted by contacts 19, 20 opened and closed under the control of keys 21, 22 for the two messages. Closure of key 21, key 22, or both keys interposes resistances 23- 25, 25-24, and 23-24 respectively in this shunt and causes output currents of correspondingly increasing magnitude.

Heading B1X [Also in Division C2] Hydrocarbons are oxidised by charging them continuously into a reactor 1 in the liquid phase, and oxidising them with a gas containing free oxygen; continuously removing a portion of the reaction medium such that there always remains in the reactor a quantity of oxidation product permitting the development of the reaction at a satisfactory rate; subjecting the removed fraction to at least one extraction in extractor 12 with a polar solvent which is a good solvent for the oxidation products and only slightly miscible or rendered slightly miscible with the starting hydrocarbon, with or without a purification by washing with an alkaline solution in washer 3 and with water in washer 7; separating the oxidation products from the polar solvent and re-cycling the hydrocarbon by line 14 to reactor 1.
